MY PASSENGER SIDE FRONT SPRING BROKE AND SPEARED MY TIRE, LUCKILY WHILE I WAS PARKING. WHEN I GOT IT TOWED TO THE MECHANIC, THEY SHOWED ME THAT THE LEFT SPRING WAS CRACKED AND READY TO BREAK AS WELL. I HAD TO PAY TO HAVE BOTH REPLACED. MECHANIC INFORMED ME THAT THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE. I'M VERY CONCERNED THAT THIS MIGHT HAPPEN AGAIN WHILE I'M DRIVING WITH MY 8 YEAR OLD IN THE CAR.

AIR BAGS
I MOVED MY PASSENGER SEAT BACK AS FAR AS IT WOULD GO AND MY AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON AND HAS BEEN ON FOR MONTHS. I HAVE MOVED THE SEAT BACK AND FORTH AND IT IS STILL ON. NOT SURE WHY MOVING MY SEAT TO THE FAR BACK POSITION WOULD CAUSE MY AIRBAG LIGHT TO COME ON. IT REALLY CONCERNS ME.

CARS EXHAUST IS MADE OF VERY POOR METAL. JUST AFTER 4 YEARS MUFFLER RUSTED OFF FROM CONNECTION. REPLACED MUFFLER ON 03/25/14 WITH AFTERMARKET ONE. SPRING OF 2015 I NOTICED EXHAUST NOISE BECAME LOUDER AGAIN. AFTER INSPECTION FOUND THAT MID PIPE RUSTED OFF AT CONNECTION TO MUFFLER, AND ANOTHER LEAK IN CAT CONVERTER SECTION OF EXHAUST. MY VERSA HAS 71K MILES AND NEEDS WHOLE NEW EXHAUST. MY MOM HAS SAME VERSA AND SAME PROBLEMS. I DO NOT THINK THAT THIS IS COINCIDENCE IN MANY FORUMS VERSA OWNERS COMPLAIN ABOUT SAME PROBLEMS. LOOKS LIKE NISSAN WENT VERY CHEAP ON MATERIALS FOR THIS MODEL CARS. I HAD MANY OTHER MANUFACTURERS VEHICLES AND NONE HAD SAME ISSUES.

WHEN DRIVING THE CAR AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS 65MPH AND OVER THE CAR SHIFTS RIGHT AND LEFT AS IF WIND IS BLOWING THE CAR ON BOTH SIDES. THE CAR IS BRAND NEW AND WAS PURCHASED WITH 10 MILES ON THE ODOMETER IN MAY OF 2015. THE DEALERSHIP ACKNOWLEDGED THIS PROBLEM AND NISSAN WAS CONTACTED BY ME AT THE REQUEST OF THE DEALERSHIP. NISSAN HAS INFORMED ME THAT THE PROBLEMS IS A NORMAL CONDITION FOR THIS MODEL AND THEREFORE NO FIX OR SOLUTION IS AVAILABLE. THE MAIN CONCERN IS THAT WHEN DRIVING AT OVER 65 MILES PER HOUR YOU HAVE TO FIGHT THE STEERING TO COMPENSATE FOR THE SHIFTING. THE SERVICE MANAGER AT SPARKS/NISSAN IN MONROE LOUISIANA STATES THAT THE MODEL IS A NORMAL SITUATION. IF THIS IS TRUE THEN WHY HAS THE SALES STAFF NOT INFORMED THE CUSTOMERS THAT A SITUATION COULD EXIST? THE CAR SHOULD BE DEEMED A SAFETY HAZARD AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AS UNDER NORMAL CITY LOW SPEED DRIVING THE CONDITION IS NOT NOTICED. NISSAN CORPORATION 615-7257445 WILL DO NOTHING, MY CASE #2035821 COMPLAINT. I AM ASKING FOR A REPURCHASE BY NISSAN TO THE DEALERSHIP IN HOPES OF BUYING A CAR DEEMED TO BE SAFE. THE PROBLEM WAS NOTICED ON A LONG TRIP FROM LOUISIANA TO FLORIDA AND BACK IN SEPTEMBER.
